The Liberty Bell was ordered from England in 1751 by the colony of Pennsylvania. The colonists wished to use it in their State House. When the bell arrived and was rung, it cracked. It was melted down and remade by local bell makers. The bell was then rung for many years. A message of freedom was engraved on the bell. It says, “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” The bell was rung on important occasions. Pennsylvania colonists used the bell to express their anger over British taxes. They rang it to celebrate the Boston Tea Party. On July 8, 1776, it announced the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. It was also rung when Chief Justice John Marshall died in 1835. In the 1830s, abolitionists rang the bell as a symbol of liberty to oppose slavery. It then became known as the Liberty Bell. The bell was always rung each year to celebrate George Washington’s birthday on February 22. When it was rung on his birthday in 1846, a long crack split the bell. After that, it was never rung again. The bell could no longer ring loudly, and people feared that it might split further apart. The Liberty Bell was taken out of the Pennsylvania State House and housed in the Liberty Bell Center in 2003. Did You Know? Download 10.24 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
